Athlete now with ED
Hi,
I used to have anorexia in 2008 and 2010. I recovered and gained weight back, and had a good relationship with food for 7 yrs. I started training for a marathon last year, and dropped from (Edited by Hope for mentioning weight counts). I started eating again, and now every other day it's (Edited by Hope for mentioning calorie counts). I run 50 miles a week, so I've only gained (Edited by Hope for mentioning weight counts) in 4 weeks, but I'm worried I'm gaining too fast. I restrict, binge, then binge. I can't afford insurance, so have to do it on my own this time.

Hey, @calmStrawberries6925! It looks like you have struggled with an ED in the past and you were able to recover from it and even maintain it for 7 long years, that is some good accomplishment. It looks like you are worried about weight gain, I understand that you can't afford the things that helped you last time but what about the coping mechanisms you learned, can you recall any that helped you last time? Also, I edited your post for mentioning weight counts and calorie counts, we refrain from using exact numbers for these around here as it can be a trigger for some.
